I think you could power up the IDE to help programmers with OOP and classes, for example it would be very useful to have in the function browser samething like:
---------
Code: Select all
myown_func()
myveryown_fun()
myclass()
+-- myclass_method1()
+-- myclass_method2()
I know this could be problematic because there isn't a class definition command in Hollywood, but you could achieve this simply parsing a special comment in the code, for example:
----------
Code: Select all
; BeginClass MyOwnClass()
Function MyOwnClass:New()
...
EndFunction
Function MyOwnClass:Free()
...
EndFunction
; EndClass
Parsing special comments to declare opening and closing classes should be quiet easy and in large project with tons of classes browsing will be improved a lot.
